NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grant Deadline 2/28

 

NYC Green Fund Grassroots Grant Program in Action

El Grito is a longtime grassroots organization using the arts and social justice to advocate for police accountability and youth empowerment in New York City. Awardees of our fall 2024 NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant, the organization received critical funding to help continue their work, providing music and dance workshops in Sunset Park this year and sharing Puerto Rican folkloric traditions for all ages. 

 

"As the organizers of the Sunset Park Puerto Rican Day Parade and Festival, having the funds to support regular programming in the lead up to the parade was so helpful in building public interest around the summer's major event…the grant made it possible for us to fairly compensate musicians and dancers for their teaching, which is a way of preserving the culture and supporting its practitioners. We are incredibly grateful for the…NYC Green Fund's support." 

 

There’s still time to apply for $1,000 to $40,000 and one or two-year funding through the NYC Green Fund Grassroots grant program. Don’t miss the chance to attend an info session. The last session is approaching, so register now!
